Hi, question. I have a clock which had an extension from the rear which looks like a net curtain wire and was broken. I unscrewed it thinking I could remove the back of the clock but have a problem.

I am about to start assembling my 1953 model 7. (Engine/Frame No: H7 483XX). Can anyone who has an original machine please post a photo showing how the brake light switch (Lucas Model 22B) is mounted. Most photos only show the timing side.

Working on the primary area I notice a bright wear marks on the inside faces of the clutch drum where the plain plates sit. like indents on the center (from the friction plates) these will surely make it hard for the plates to lift.

Hello everyone.

I am booked up to go to the International Rally this year in Italy. I plan to drive down to Rimini with the bike on my trailer. I have space on the trailer foranother bike, and room in the car for two people.

Why is this rally (one of the best) not listed in the "Events" section either of these pages, or in Roadholder?. Given advanced notification, it is possible to book a room, on site, for those old enough for camping to lose it's appeal.

Some of you may recall reading about my chequered health history over the past few years. Earlier in 2015 I thought I'd got over all my problems and started to ride my bikes again.

Hi.

I need to recut my vale seats. Does anyone know if the angle is 30 or 45 degrees. The engine is a 600 99., Haynes manual says 45, is this correct.

Thanks in advance

Is the centre stand on a 55 ES2 supposed to clang against the underside of the silencer when going over bumps? I can't find any adjustable stop. George

Hi

I am considering fitting a TLS brake to my Dommie front hub toupgrade it's stopping performance.

Hi I will be riding to the AGM next month. Was thinking about traveling on the Saturday and staying overnight near Castle Donnington.

Hi

Just done a wheel alignment check on my 1974 Commando 850 and discovered the front and rear wheels are not parallel.

I haven't noticed any obvious handling problems.

I have an ex-race rolling chassis which has no frame number, the original lower left tube had been replaced with a section to carry oil for chain lube, and with it the gusset plate had been changed.

Hi all

Has any member had any luck with sorting the front brake lever travel on their MK 3 Commando

recently overhauled Master cylinder and brake caliper with new seals one piece hydraulic Venhill pipe work

I have an ES2 1953 which has a decent engine, gearbox and frame. I would like to restore the machine with a cafÃ? racer look. I wondered if anyonecould give meadvice regarding suppliers for tank/seat and other parts.

I posted this in "Off topic" but as you have to Log-in for that heading to come up (for some reason) I felt it would be better posted where I had received al the help.Just thought I'd post a big "thank you" to all the club members who have so gene

My Dommie has just been joined by a very early BSA Thunderbolt.

She is a non runner, but has had a top end rebuild. It is an electrical problem. I intend to put an electronic ignition on her. Any suggestions of which is best?

I am rebuilding a 1951 ES2, I purchased in bits (never again), I am having trouble with assembling the rear hub, it either locks up or is very stiff when placed in the lugs and tightened up.

Recent data on the variety of clutch spring lengths lead me to dismantle my clutch which is 1955 laydown box. The springs were more or less as quoted for length and I reassembled and used by dial gauge to check for equal lift.

Do you know if Norton factory records indicate the colors of the frame, fuel tank, oil tank, battery carrier or tool box, mudguards on a Dominator 88 Wideline 1953?

What were the color choices given to the buyer then?

Thanks

It seems today that Nortons heavy twins are dying or resurrecting in the form of bitzas , Triton first, or as a source of spares for Norton engines.

Hi All,

The Pillion Footrests on my 1973 MK2 Commando touch the silencers on the bottom. They appear to be fitted correctly. I have the round type rubbers fitted, but have seen a different type that is waisted and flat along the bottom.

Just thought I'd post a big thankyou to all the club members who have so generously and patiently shared their knowledge with me and helped get my '55 ES2 into tip-top condition.Thanks yo you I now have little or no leaking from the p/chaincase; g
